WILLIAM KRUTZSGH, OF DAYTON, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE BUCKEYE IRON AND BRASS WORKS, OF SAME PLACE.

OIL-CUP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 334,710, dated January 19, 1886.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WVILLIAM KRUTZSOH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Oil-Cups, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved stopper for oil-cups or lubricating devices; and it consists of an oil-cup having a filling-orifice at one end, and inclosing a spring-actuated stopper which presses outward within the filling-orifice, thereby securely closing the cup, but allowing the said filling'orifioe to be un- [5 covered by pressing the spring-stopper inward and to one side.

The invention is illustrated in the annexed drawings, in which Figure 1 is a vertical section of my improved lubricating-cup on the line 00 x of Fig. 4. Fig. 2 is a sectional detail view taken on the line y g of Fig. 4, the iilling-orifice being shown closed. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the cup, partly in section, on the line pg of Fig. 4, the filling-orifice being shown open with the stopper pressed inward and to one side. Fig. i is a plan view of the oil-cup.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a cylinder of glass or other material, preferably transparent. To the upper end of this cylinder is attached a cap, 13, and the lower end is closed by a plate, (J, having on its outer face a threaded tubular shank, O, by which the cup is connected with the mechanism to be lobricated. On the inner face of this bottom plate, 0, is formed a tubular stem, D, which passes through the oil-cup and its cap B, and is secured thereto by a nut, E, on the outer side of said cap.

F is the feed-rod, which works in the tubular stem D and controls the flow of oil from the cup through an outlet, H, at the lower end of said stem. The feed-rod is provided with a milled head, R, and its lower end is threaded 4 5 and grooved at H, so that by means of its head B it may be turned sufficiently to cause said groove H to register with the oil-outlet H and enable the oil to be fed from the cup. By turning the feed-rod F in the opposite direction the flow of oil will be arrested.

G G represent packing-rings, of cork or other material, placed at each end of the cylinder. The cap Bhasafilling-orifice,l,through which the cup is supplied with oil. This filling-orifice is closed by a spring-actuated stopper, J, which is arranged Within the oil-cup in such a manner as to be pressed inward and away from the opening I when it is desired to replenish the cup. The stopper J is formed with a tubular portion. K, which fits over a collar, M, on a rod, L, the lower end of which is seated in a socket, N. on the inner side of i the bottom plate, 0. The upper end of the stopper is provided internally with a guidesocket, Q, which receives the upper end of the rod L when the stopper is pressed down. Within the tubular portion K of the stopper and surrounding the rod L is a spirally-coiled spring, P, one end of which rests on the collar M, while the other end bears against a 7c shoulder, T, at the upper socketed end of the stopper. The spring 1? is thus inclosed in the stopper and is not liable to become broken or disarranged. The upper end of the stopper is providedwith a button or finger-piece, O, which projects laterally from a neck, S, that connects with the stopper and projects through the filling-orifice. When the stopper J and its rod L are in line with the filling-0rifice I, the stopper will be supported and pressed 8o outward by the spring P so as to enter the orifice I from its inner side, and thus securely close the cup. It will be observed that the edge of the opening I is beveled downward to correspond with and fit a similar beveled surface on the exterior of the stopper. When the stopper is in place, therefore, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, it completely plugs the orifice I and effectually prevents the escape of oil or the entrance of dirt or other foreign matter. By pressing the button or finger-piece 0 downward and to one side the neck S will be carried down through the opening I until the upper end of the stopper engages the under side of the cap B at the side of the opening, as shown in Fig. 3, and thus uncovers said opening or filling-orifice so as to permit filling or refilling the cup. While the stopper is thus engaged with the cap the filling-orifice will re- I main open without any necessity of holding the 1 button or finger-piece O.

In order to close the oil-cup it is only necessary to give the button 0 a slight push, when the stopper J will immediately spring into engagement with the filling orifice.

A spring-actuated stopper of the form described is adapted to securely close the oileup at all times, and is not liable to become disarranged or jarred out of place. This construction also renders it impossible for the spout of the filling-can to enter the filling-orifice I so far as to obstruct the free exit of the displaced air.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. In an oil-cup, the combination, with a cap having a fillingorifice, of an internal spring-actuated stopper having a finger-piece that projects through said filling-orifice, substantially as described.

2. In an oil-cup, the combination, with a cap having a filling-orifice, ofa laterally-movable spring-actuated stopper inclosed in said cup, and provided with a finger-piece projecting through said filling-orifice, and a movable rod for supporting said stopper, substantially as described.

3. In an oilcnp, the combination of a cap having a filling-orifice, aspring-actuated slopper inelosed in the oil-cup and having a finger-piece and a connecting-neck projecting through said filling-orifice, and a rod for supporting and guiding the stopper, said rod being seated at the bottom of the cup and having a collar for supporting the stopper-spring, substantially as described.

4. In an oil-cup, the combination of a cap having a filling-orifice, a bottom plate provided with a socket, a tubular stopper arranged Within the oil-cup and having a fingerpieee projecting through the filling-orifice, a movable rod seated in the socket of the bottom plate and having a collar, and a spring inelosed in the stopper and surrounding the upper end of said rod, substantially as described.

5. In an oil-cup, the combination of the cylinder A, the cap 13, having a filling-orifice, I, the bottom plate, 0, provided with socket N, the tubular stopper J, the rod L, having collar )I, and the spring P, substantially as described.

In testimony \vhereofI affix my signature in presence of witnesses.
